Stretching out with other worldly and US jazz influenced music


I wanted to start a thread to show there is more than just Avant Garde and or Straight Ahead Jazz music in our world. And there is absolutely nothing wrong at all with Avant Garde and or Straight Ahead Jazz music as I do love that part of US Jazz based culture. But sometimes I want to hear and add more sound spices as it were, from other worldly and US jazz influenced music.

There is so much more other worldly and US jazz influenced music that goes unnoticed and it's time to bring those musics of different sound spices to the forefront to be shared.

Although I have started this thread I am not a or the moderator. Let me repeat I am not a or the moderator. I don't have the time nor energy to police anyone's take on the music they like and want to share. As I will always try and be open to others choices of music.

What!?!  As I said, pick up the (electric) bass and play hell out of it.

Edit: I gotta listen to that again...Walk that bass...

It’s been awhile since I’ve been here and I thought to share this link but I wasn’t quite sure to post this cause it’s not (all) jazz per say, but after seeing this last page I noticed @jafant mention Esperanza Spalding and @alexatpos mention Wayne Shorter and I said, why not?

This is an NPR Music Milton Nascimento & Esperanza Spalding: Tiny Desk (Home) Concert. The compositions are:

Milton Nascimento: ’Cais’
Milton Nascimento: ’Outubro’
Guinga, Paulo César Pinheiro: ’Saci (feat. Guinga)’
Milton Nascimento, Fernando Brant: ’Saudade Dos Aviões Da Panair (Conversando No Bar) (feat. Maria Gadú)’
Wayne Shorter, Edgy Lee: “When You Dream (feat. Maria Gadú)”

Please enjoy.

@frogman,’style individualistic’ I couldn’t agree more. I’ve always been drawn to dynamic musicians who make you not only look and listen to them but are also great accompaniment to their bandmates. Just like Wayne Shorter and Esperanza Spalding. Sang, take it to church...

Lol, I remember buying the vinyl new, but I don’t remember posting the Robert Glasper, Esperanza Spalding cover. I just watched it again. Gee I have good taste! 😁
